I'm not a huge fan of fruit leathers, but this turned out super good! And, really, you can't go wrong with blackberries, mint and rum.

The Chicken Tractor

No substantive post today people, I'm too busy working on the new business proposal for my post Peak Oil employment. You can read more about it here.

Please do not confuse this project with the stationary Chicken Ranch. And, please note, however, that the prices will be slightly more expensive since we boast organic, free-range, hormone-free chicken. Also note that I will give my peeps a very high commission if you are interested in auditioning.

Well, I guess I will obtain a motorhome, convert it to battery and solar and go out on the road Robj98168- Male Gigolo _ I will plumb leaks for food. sort of what you had in mind, only a manly version!

I'm planning to go into the "family business." I hail from Kentucky, and it's rumored that my grandpa had a distillation facility back in the holler somewhere. I'm planning to franchise his "business" here in Maine. My husband is an engineer and could very easily manufacture the "equipment". We could probably use my neighbors' apples ... or I hear there's a distilled drink from maple syrup :). We're setting up the beehive next spring, and that will give us one more option for our high-octane beverage business.

Worst case, if it's not drinkable, it could be a good "tractor" fuel ;).

I'm gonna go old school. Use my teaching degree without the commute. Have hubby build a 1-room school house on our property. I'll take all potty-trained ages. Tuition: fire wood, whatever's growing in your garden, and chocolate. Very low overhead- kids buy their own slates and chalk.

I plan to catalogue the peeps, assign shelf space, issue cards to the patrons, and keep the circulation stats, though Crunchy will be be the acquiring librarian/madam. Sharon and Meadowlark can ride shotgun and weed out the peeps that we no longer need in the collection.I'll take care of the book collection, too. Do you think we should issue separate cards, or just have the card automatically grant adult privialges when then patront turns 21?

I have a team of scientists working on tranforming Peke fur from my super shedding nonpurse riding, don't-you-dare-even-think-I'm-a-sissy-lapdog Pekingese into a nonpolluting fuel to replace peak oil. If using Peke to combat peak doens't work out (my scientists work for beer and my supply is runing low) then I'll learn how to spin Pekingese fur into yarn and use it to knit skimy working duds for Crunchy's employees and Rob the Man Whore.

About the actual chicken tractor:you can have a really small version for Chinese quail that is much easier to drag around and is hardly bigger than a large piece of luggage. Those little quail {very cute, be careful} will peck out all the greens and the seeds over their tractor to a depth of one inch. Then move them over a few feet. Behind them is ready for planting.
